i borrowed a digi camera from my brother and took this.:)
my trusted M4 and Canon 35/1.8; plain without frills?

Here is my new lens, on my old body.

My Leica M6 Classic
 

Nice one Ron. Very nice.

[ grabs paper towel to wipe up drool ]

ebayed for this last may. picked up an almost new 50mm 'cron to go with it a few weeks later. delicious.

I apologize for all the pics, but I havn't left my house all day and it's keeping my very entertained. (Along with my bedside bottle)

My new Family as of today. The MP-3 kit is incredible, there will never be another one like it. Which brings me to Mr. Benoit's tirades on using the camera instead of fondling it. I used to "Bah-hum-bug" those whole called their camera's works of art...then I realized, like it or not, they are.

The M6 will most likely look like yours in a few years, it is the workhorse as well.
The M3 was my family's 40th birthday present to me, so I am going to take real good care of it.

The MP-3 is rare to begin with, but will be a user that I pay respect to. This is one of the finest Leica's in history, there is nothing wrong with treating it with respect, hence the custom cut corner tape and remaining protective bottom.

Make no mistake though, I am going to make plenty of photos with it...she's not even broke in...

The Old Geezer with The Old Leica
 

Bigfoot in action. The proper way to see a Leica. From either side. :)

The left eye focusing looks so odd! Can't wait til my lens hood gets worn like that...

all you need is a file
 

The bikers who have knee pads, but are yellow, use a flat file on their knee pads and the sidewalls of their tyres.

So if your hood is too new, dont wait go for instant gratification.

Left eye looks odd? Looks just fine from my side.

I was mildly upset when the hood arrived looking like it had spent a couple tours in Iraq. On the other hand, it does complete the black & chrome fashion scheme.

I ain't yellow at all, just green!

I can do that too.
 

Between Canon, Nikkor, Voigtlander & Konica I can put together several combinations of bodies & lenses with or without the "L."

I know. Except your bodies are bigger :p How're you doing, Wayne ?

Very nice kits, Roland! So where does your Canon 50/1.5 lens fit into all this?

-Randy

There are two kits missing :eek:

Not all of them...
 

The Konica I is petite! When I get the QL17 back from overhaul, it will be even smaller than the Konica I. The Canon VI-Ts are smaller than some rangefinder bodies. Hey, Bigfoot & Bubba resemble your remarks! ;)

I'm doing great. Taking pictures everyday with something different. It doesn't get any better than that. :D

the new m6. got it for 680 USD off of ebay and it came in the mail yesterday. seems to be in full working order. can't wait to get a lens and start shooting!

Good luck with that m6... boy have prices gone down....

nah, i think i just got really lucky. was originally looking for an m2 or maybe an m4-p, but couldn't pass this deal up.

Nice M6 SofaKing- Looks much like mine- but you got a little bit better deal- well done. I was just in your town last week- could shoot there for a year.
